Yoga is a mind and body practice with a 5,000-year history in ancient Indian philosophy. Various styles of yoga combine physical postures, breathing techniques, and meditation or relaxation.In more recent years, it has become popular as a form of physical exercise based upon poses that promote improved control of the mind and body and enhance well-being.This book is by no means an exhaustive study of human anatomy or the vast science of yoga. No single book could be. Both fields contain a potentially infinite number of details, both macro- and microscopic, all of which are endlessly fascinating and potentially useful depending on your interests. Our intention is to present the details of anatomy that are of most value to people involved in yoga whether as students or as teachers.There are several different types of yoga and many disciplines within the practice. This book explores the history, philosophy, and various branches of yoga.
